"If you hate me, why did you summon me and even break my seal?"
Daji asked, puzzled.
Lin Yi answered indifferently, "I'm just highly cautious."
After saying that, he looked at the very aggrieved Daji lying on the ground and reached out his hand, "Aren't you hungry? Here's some blood for you."
Daji didn't dare to move.
Seeing that Lin Yi's hand wasn't retracted, she crawled over, biting his wrist with her red lips, soft and warm.
The next moment, Daji frowned and said, "I can't bite through."
Lin Yi: "…uh, try again now."
Daji opened her mouth once more, and this time, she really made a shallow wound on Lin Yi's arm. However, after sucking a bit of blood, she retracted her mouth. In an instant, her spirit improved significantly, and her complexion flushed.
"Master's blood is very fragrant, delicious, and powerful, so one drop is enough."
"You're really not greedy, are you?"
"I truly want to repay you."
"Alright, I got it. I just wanted to see if you were loyal during this meeting. If you are, you'll get to drink blood every day."
"Thank you, Master."
Daji crouched on the ground, smiling as she placed her hands on Lin Yi's knees, resembling a fox to a T.
After he sent her back to System Space, a clear notification sounded in Lin Yi's mind.
Lin Jingyue had sent another message.
It was now midnight. Counting the hours, 24 hours had passed, which meant 240 years in that world.
Ten years per message, and indeed there were 24 unread messages in his mind.
Lin Yi opened the chat window.
The first 18 messages were normal reports from Lin Jingyue about various events in the small plane, including the expression of longing for Lin Yi from her and her two sisters.
Lin Jingyue even included personal touches, describing her sisters' yearnings with just a few words, while her own longing for Lin Yi filled lengthy passages, like message number 18.
[Message 18: …Ancestral Patriarch, 180 years have passed, and the second and third sisters miss you a lot. Only Jingyue misses you very, very, very, very much. Although I know you will still take sixty years to come see us, it's okay, Jingyue will keep waiting… Speaking of Daqian, under the leadership of your most obedient third daughter, me! It's still a picture of peace and prosperity. I've been managing your continent well, haven't I? Hmph, I want to be praised by Ancestral Patriarch. Please come soon, okay? Come and praise Jingyue…]
Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh at the sudden surge of words. If it weren't for the word limit in the chat window, Lin Jingyue could have used tens of thousands of words just to praise herself and seek commendation.
But this is what it feels like to raise a daughter in another world, huh? Lin Yi suddenly felt as if he was reading a letter from his own beloved little girl.
But the nineteenth message caused Lin Yi's expression to change.
It seemed… there was trouble again.
[Message 19: Ancestral Patriarch, there's something important I need to report to you. Suddenly, I found several white hairs on the second sister, and the third sister, and a year later, I also found some white hairs on myself, and we all developed some wrinkles… Although they're not noticeable if you don't look closely, does this mean we are getting old? But why would immortals age? We have lived for three to four thousand years, why are we aging now…]
…
[Message 20: Ancestral Patriarch, I miss you so much. I wonder if you will still recognize Jingyue the next time you come. Hahaha… I really am getting old. The second sister, the third sister, and I seem to have become mortals, we will probably also age, get sick, and die according to natural rules, right? These past few days, I've been having nightmares often, dreaming that I would die of old age before you come. Haha, I would probably die of regret, truly regretful…]
…
[Message 21: …Ancestral Patriarch, why haven't you come yet…]
...
[Message 22: Ancestral Patriarch, my second sister married her eldest disciple the year before last, and my third sister married her second disciple as well, rest assured, they're truly in love. Both my second and third sisters are already worried about death, and so am I. They're thinking about having children so that there would be someone to welcome you… Hehe, Jing Yue hasn't married because she hasn't met someone she likes yet~ Even at an older age, she's become selective, not a single man satisfies me, humph, all my disciples are useless. I really envy my second and third sisters. I'd better focus on ruling the country while I can still get around.]
...
[Message 23: Ancestral Patriarch, the one I like is you. Can you come back quickly and marry Jing Yue?
Last night, I tossed and turned, unable to sleep, thinking back to 230 years ago when I was in my wedding gown, and you were standing right in front of me. Yet, I couldn't voice my feelings for you.]
...
[Message 24: Ancestral Patriarch, my second sister passed away five years ago, and my third sister two years ago. They died peacefully with smiles on their faces. Just before she died, my third sister said she saw you. I believed her, but when I chased outside, I searched five streets and couldn't find you. By the time I came back, my third sister was gone. I fainted from crying that day. She can't bicker with me anymore, and I really miss her scolding me… I really want to see you. Is there still a chance? I don't know, it seems I'm about to die too.]
Lin Yi sat on the bed, lost in thought.
Why would Immortals, age and die?
He didn't dare waste a minute, and immediately headed for the smaller plane.
Lin Yi hovered above Daqian Capital City, also known as Pingyang City, looking down at the scene below. Indeed, just as Lin Jingyue described sixty years ago, it was thriving.
"Why would Immortals age and die? Tell me!"
Lin Yi shouted in his heart.
He never expected this outcome.
Honestly, during the day he had glanced at a few messages out of the fear that the disaster of the "new god" would recur, but evidently, it hadn't happened this time, and Lin Yi had let his guard down.
But he hadn't expected the death of the Immortals to happen at the 19th message.
[Plane Level: level 3]
[Plane Ruler: Immortal]
[Ruler's Lifespan: 5000 years]
[Due to the accelerated passage of time used by the host in the early stages of creation, the foundation of the Immortals was not stable, so their lifespan was shortened to just over three thousand years.]
Immortals really age and die?
The original lifespan is only up to five thousand years?
And then, after I created life forms, wanting to see what the later results would be, I chose to accelerate the flow of time, so their lifespans are now just over three thousand years?
Lin Yi couldn't help but ask, "Did you do this on purpose? Why didn't you tell me these things in advance?"
[Birth, aging, sickness, and death are all normal events, not included in the crisis alarm scope, and the host is also asked to respect the natural order of life.]
"But I don't want them to die… I'm telling you, if Lin Jingyue dies, I can't be bothered to manage this small plane anymore, let whoever wants to manage it do it."
Having said this, Lin Yi flew toward the direction of the Daqian Imperial Palace.
Arriving at the imperial palace, it was just at the time of the morning court.
Lin Yi stood outside the great hall. Looking forward, he saw that it wasn't Lin Jingyue who sat on the imperial throne, but a young male emperor, about twenty years old.
Lin Yi: "Your fucking…"
[Lin Jingyue is not dead]
"Okay."
